Rum Raisin Ice Cream at ICE3 Cafe. Very heavy rum taste. Supposed to melt very fast as it is super premium level icecream. Something to do with the air bubbles in there. COST : $10 something







GARY KIM restaurant (Tampines) The cheese egg tofu is very sinful and very expensive!! Nikki ordered the yuan yang baked rice with fish (comes with 2 sauces, cream and tomato). Its big enough to feed 2 of me so can share share. The cheese egg tofu is to die for lar.. must try when u go eat there!

Honjin Restaurant

Its has been awhile since there was a update.. So I decide to write a review based on what happened last Friday..

Name: Honjin Restaurant
Venue: Near the god forsaken place


1st of all, some of us were there to experience 1st hand of the whole event. Seriously I would never step into that place if not for someone up there (and I dun mean God (in general, dun start the your God, my God shit on me) ), who wasted 20 years of his life at some crap shit company. But for the benefit of those that were not there, here goes..

Pre-event
The event is suppose to start @ 6:30pm. So most of us hung around god’s forsaken place for a while, but for some reason, my team (IL, EW, RS and myself) was being arrowed and had to bring some drinks down to the restaurant early (for those who wasn’t there, only hot green tea (Ocha) will be serve, others we have to buy, but someone manage to negotiate with them and ask them to waive off the corkage (Damn!! had to use the dictionary to find this word)). So I was there at about 6:20pm.

Beginning of event
6:30pm, I think more or less the people has taken up their seats. I sat with IL and our chairman, 3 other seat were reserved for Ah Liang (7pm), WL and EC(EC last day so they stayed to have a last look of the god forsaken place), but they wasn’t here. Our cups were filled with ocha. And the food starts flowing in, 3 man to eat 6 man share, it was a good deal!! The 1st few dishes were, some vegetable salad, the softshell crab maki, one more unknown maki and Sashimi set (Salmon, octopus, yellow tail (Not really sure if it is yellow tail) and tuna.. I am not really a fan of sushi and maki, so I dive into the Sashimi(s), the tuna, yellow tail and salmon were below par.. even some crappy sushi bar like Sakae serve better fishes than them, but the Octopus was not so bad, fresh and chewy.

1st half of the event
I think it was about 6:50pm. Came the softshell crab, shisamo, teriyaki beef and my favorite of the night, the grilled squirrel looking chicken wing. I dun eat beef, so can’t really recommend on that, the shisamo, was the smallest shisamo (About the same size as those big ikan bilis) I had ever seen, but it taste the same as those big ones, but due to the size, I giving it a thumbs down. Soft shell crab was the same, so nothing fantastic. The grilled Squirrel, yes the gross looking chicken wing, it had that look because the chicken wing was peeled open on the sides of the wings, one of the bones was removed and it was skewered by a stick, despite the look, the skin was crispy and the meat was rather juicy and that is what I call food. And also about this time, one Japanese chap, the tall, small eyes, lady’s man(you known who I mean) came around pouring sake(FYI, I was the one that brought it down) for people.. I dun drink, our chairman says it was good, if not for his presentation later that night, he would had drank the whole bottle. Then at about 7:10pm the other 3 guys came. But after they look at what was left on the table and I was actually feeling full, they decided to order some food, they ask for the menu and the waitress said that we already ordered a lot, so wait till after all the course were serve then order. But after a while still no food were served, so they ask for the menu from another waitress, this time round the menu were given to them and about this time, one of the Japanese lady, the one that speaks like a TV presenter when she is on the phone with her clients came with Wine glass and Red Wine, ah Liang reluctantly finish up 1 glass in one go. Then after a while the guys made their food order.

2nd half of the event
7:30pm. IL and our chairman left the restaurant after they had a toast with the man that spend 20 years here. The food started flowing again, shocked at the food presented to us, because we didn’t order it, but we saw the food were serve to other tables, we realized that it was still part of the course. Together with the food that the guys had ordered, we had a table full of food. There are Tamago sushi, fried tapioca, fried mushroom, Fried Tofu and others that I dunno and dun care as I was already full. It was a rather bad situation as I was full, Ah Liang dun eat most of the food on the table, which means WL and EC better be hungry enough to finish them.. During this time, there are some drinking contest going on at other tables. And my ocha is running low. We ask the waitress to refill the ocha and she told us to hold on.. and about this time, the Fat Japanese came to our table with white wine and try to pour it in my ocha cup which I covered with my hand, stupid guy.. After quite some time we ask another waitress to refill our ocha, this time, finally my ocha was refilled. 7:50pm, the food on the table were gone by 40% and we decided to leave at 8:00pm and about this time, the drinking competition has become more furious and we can see that some people will be drunk by the end of the night. 8:00pm, the food on the table were gone by 70%, well done and we decide to bounce.. Toast the man and hope that he will stay for another 5 years prowling, topping up paper, saying morning to people looking at the construction opposite our office?? Neh, I dun think so.. So we pick up our bags and walk out without saying a word.

After I left/ After event

There was an ass groping incident (Offender Fat Japanese, Victim RS(lol)) and I heard someone tried to act tough, knowing that he was drunk but still tried to take the train home and ended up puking at orchard MRT station..

Ambience: 6 (nothing out of the ordinary for a Jap restaurant)

Service: 3 (Hey!! Where is my ocha?!)

Food: 5 (The food is only so so.. except for the grilled squirrel)

Damage: Its Freeeeeeeee!!!

Return value: 3 (Dun think I will set foot in that place again.. *Sigh* but I did this morning to bring back the unfinished drinks..)

Toilet: 5 (The toilet sucks, only thing good is, it is quite spacious, quite a number of cubicle for the gents)

Overall, it was a event for people to suck ass, try to be a poser, acting tough as if you could really drink and taking advantage of the situation to grope some ass. And yes I love this god forsaken place as there are always events like this and job securities here. It is an ideal place for slackers like me who dream that we will someday take the place of that man that spend 20 years of his life in this shit hole, doing shit that will never really help with the productivity.
